McLaren Construction has appointed Lucy Craig as a design director in its construction management and specialist projects division.
Craig, who has more than 20 years of experience in project design and delivery, led the technical design of major projects and programmes including 40 Leadenhall, Paddington Square and Battersea Power Station Phase 2. She most recently served as the Mace IPMO global design and engineering lead.
Vince Lydon, managing director for construction management and specialist projects at McLaren Construction, said: “Building strong design skills and governance in house is important for complex projects and programmes delivered under a construction management model, where understanding clients’ needs is key from the outset.”
Craig added: “McLaren has significantly invested in technology, bringing the design and engineering practices closer together. Clients are increasingly looking for contractors with multi-disciplinary teams that can lead and advise but also be flexible to respond to complex project requirements and that’s what I will be focusing on in my new role at McLaren.”
